I'm not saying Debian shouldn't support multiple installed versions of
Python.  I'm saying that the current stable version of Python should be
in the package "python" or "python-base".  Most packages would depend on
"python".  Old or experimental versions of Python should be called
"python-<major>.<minor>".
